TikTok blamed for hit to Iceland cucumber supply
TikTok blamed for hit to Iceland cucumber supply
One supermarket says demand has more than doubled, after viral videos promote unique recipes.
You're viewing a single thread.
Ok, it's time to spill those recipes; whose got'em?!
The TikTok trend is roughly as follows:
- smash a cucumber and cut in chunks
- add salt, mix and put in the fridge for a while to remove some water from the cucumber
- rince
- make a sauce with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, fresh ginger
- add some topping, like green onions, sesame seed, wakame seeweed, pepper flakes, cilantro, crushed peanuts
smash ? like, slap the wall with it ? I can't picture what this means (thanks for the recipe)
In Japan, we just smack them with something like a rolling pin, butt of a knife, etc.
Maybe smash isn't the right word (I'm not a native English speaker).
You put the cucumber on a cutting board, lay a large knife flat on it and strike the flat of the blade with the underside of your fist.
Maybe smash isn’t the right word (I’m not a native English speaker).
You had it right. Someone else forgot their ephemeral slang isn't the only way a word can be used.
That's correct, but crush could maybe be an alternative.
ah ok, makes sense
Cut cucumber in thin slices and put in a bowl. Mix the following: 2 tablespoons of water 2 tablespoons of vinegar (preferably apple cider) 1 tablespoon of sugar 0.5 teaspoon of salt 0.25 teaspoon of pepper
Pour it over the cucumber slices and leave it alone for 10-15 minutes.
